In spite of their small number, this year’s Sophomore Class has carried
on the traditional activities of the upperclassmen. More than ever before,
emphasis has been placed on scholarship. Consequently these students, who
are graduating into a troubled world, have the feeling of competence that
accompanies a thorough education.

The Freshman Class — “even as you and 1“ — has known the effects of
rationing: no boys to play football, few dates to be had, no gas and tires for
wiener roasts. However, those Freshmen who were privileged to complete this
year's work, did so with the same energy and enthusiasm found in former
Freshman Classes of J. J. C.

‘Arsenic and Old Lace/' the tamiliar story of two “murderous" old
ladies, was the fall production of J. J. C.

Above: Bob Myers and Betty Short, the romantic leads, arouse the interest of Bill ("Teddy”)

Claybourn and the old ladies, Mary Lou Farmer and Margaret Cox.

Below: “Cop” Keith Guthals narrates to the helpless Bob Myers while Vencil Jessee, the

evil Dr. Einstein, looks on. John Windle, as Jonathon “Karloff” Brewster, “reclines” in
the background.

Also in the cast were: Arthur Dilworth, Jack Wood, Bill DeGraff, John Roberts, and Dick

Thralls.

The spring production was Sir James M. Barrie's “What Every Woman
Knows, a story of English life. Billie Plumlee carried the feminine lead as
Maggie, and Bob Myers portrayed John Shand. Maggie’s father was played
by Bob Patrick, and her brothers by Bill Claybourn and Donald Newby.

Lady Sybil Tenterdon, Maggie's “competition," was played by Sally
Weygandt. Betty Ann Harner was the Comtesse de Le Briere and Carroll

Smith played Mr. Charles Venables.

The cast also included: Anna Jean Elliott, Charlotte Nelson, Natalie
Jones, Mary Lee Snyder, and Josephine Dinnsen.

students of the past and the present say “Thanks. ”

In Art, I have tasted of linear perspective,
For making you dippy it’s really effective.

★

A faint perfume
that filled my room
upon a summer
night.

Recalled a mood
of solitude,
and streaming pale
moonlight.

Your look at me
now memory,
your kiss, now
just a sigh.

Are but perfume
to fill my room,
my lonely room,
and I.

★

If love
or hate,
depends
on fate;
then why
the rush
and gush!

Rain — whose constant fourth dimension
Makes one dream of things, undawned.

Prompts the mind to search, uncertain
For the powers that lie beyond ....
